@Jan there’s a little bug, should be:
header(‘Content-Type: ‘. $mtype);

I was wondering if I had to create a controller for that.
Thanks for clearing that up… 🙂

Good walk through.

Yeah, great script. Perhabs you would add a automatic mime-type-detection?

if ($file !== false) {
	$mtype = '';
	$file_path = _fullUploadPath().$file->image();
	
	// magic_mime module installed?
	if (function_exists('mime_content_type')) {
		$mtype = mime_content_type($file_path);
	}
	// fileinfo module installed?
	else if (function_exists('finfo_file')) {
		$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME); // return mime type
		$mtype = finfo_file($finfo, $file_path);
		finfo_close($finfo); 
	}
}

header($mtype);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file->image().'"');
readfile(_fullUploadPath().$file->image());

Regards Jan

Great script, but I do I use it ?

And does it work in IE ?
